Text too small to view. Unable to enlarge.

I don't know what's up with the program or my new laptop. But the icon when I turn on the program(shows loading status) is microscopically small. And the program itself has all the text microscopically small. The editing icons over the videos are also impossible to view, and the text and feature options are impossible to view and use, since you can't tell what you're selecting since it's ant-size small.

The time line can't be altered either, besides too big or too small with no in between custom sizing options that I can find so far. It's annoying.

The laptop I'm using has a touch screen and too sensitive touch-pad that makes it too easy to enlarge or shrink page sizes on the computer and internet itself, but not in the Movie Studio program. And I'm thinking that has something to do with it, since when the program was being installed and first turned on. The start up box was at it's normal size, but then suddenly it shrunk to ant size. I've tried enlarging the text via the touch-pad and that doesn't work, and I can't find any other options on how to fix it.

Please let me know how this can be fixed, since I want to get back to editing some projects. But I can't do so if I can't even read the effects options and features to select.

It's most likely your monitor resolution.

musicvid10 is probably correct.
Just to rule out a possible malfunction of the software¹, try resetting.

¹)especially if you have the Movie Studio 13 basic, not the Platinum version. MS 13 basic does not allow you to resize any of windows of the interface anyway. MSPlatinum 13 in Simple Edit mode has some of the same restrictions.

I have MS Platinum 13. I tried adjusting the resolution(it's a 4K monitor and I tried lower resolutions) and nothing happened. I've even uninstalled and reinstalled the program and have the same issue.

I just downloaded windows media player as well, and that also is microscopic. So there must be something with the computer itself. It's strange.

Maybe you didn't set your screen resolution low enough. What resolution(s) did you try?
